Question Can I Use Equimax on a Milker?

I goofed when I bought some wormer for my mothers dog. I grabbed a tube of Equimax that contains both Ivermectin and Praziquantel. They can both be used on dogs, the problem is in the ratio of the 2. I would be overdosing one to provide enough of the other. So... rather than waste this, can I use it for my goats? If not I'll pass it on to someone with horses.

This paste is Ivermectin 1.87% (and) Praziquantel 14.03%

The tube treats one 1320 lb. horse at the rate of 91 mcg ivermectin per lb.
and .68 mg. praziquantel per lb.

The tube translates that as one "click" on the syringe per 220 lbs of animal. Since I had this infernal stroke, I can't trust myself to do this right so I'm asking here because I know y'all will know this! I get so frustrated that I can't do math anymore!!!! Thanks, Kathy

Yes, you can use the Equimax on goats. The Praziquantel is extremely effective in getting rid of tapeworms. Be warned though, you want to hold their mouths shut until they swallow it, or you may end up wearing it! My goats apparently don't like the apple flavoring that's in it.
